"'“Revolution will launch towards the end of next year,” a Nintendo source told MCV. “We’re currently looking at mirroring the DS strategy, so Revolution would release in the US first in November, closely followed by Japan – then we’re looking at March 2007 for PAL territories.”"
Looks like all 3 systems will be out in America first. I do belive this is a first for a home console. Japan generally gets all the new toys first. Hell, France and Germany hate us, but MS, Sony and Nintendo are going to show us some love!
